This place is amazing! I’m not normally a fan of museums but this one is great. It is disinter with children in mind-lots of interactive displays for the little ones to get involved in. We were lucky enough to see the music installation too which was exceptional. We spent ages there, exploring sound, banging drums, creating music in different ways. The staff were all lovely and one fabulous security guard found my little girls lost teddy and kept it safe for her.
The ground floor occupied us for several hours and we were delighted with it all which made the long journey in the rain, worthwhile!
There is a rainforest area where you can view animals and fish and a lovely outdoor space too.
Only two negatives were-the entrance hall was not well managed. We queued for 45mins upon arrival and two members of staff on the desk were seriously snowed under.
Also the cafe had hardly any sandwiches and was very full. We managed alright with a strange selection of bits but there was not much food left to choose from at 1.30pm!
